According to its website, www.integrityinitiative.com, the Integrity Initiative is a private sector-led campaign that aims to promote honesty, transparency and fairness in conducting business by using internal and external integrity validation systems.
Corporate representatives sign the Integrity Pledge, a formal and concrete expression of commitment to abide by ethical business practices and to support a national campaign against corruption. The pledge can only be signed by chief executive officers, chief operating officers, managing directors, country representatives or other senior company officials to “set the tone from the top” and oblige all members of the organization to likewise behave with integrity and carry out their responsibilities ethically.
Business and professional organizations supporting the Integrity Initiative include Makati Business Club, European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, Bishops-Businessmen Conference, Employers’ Confederation of the Philippines, Financial Executives Institute of the Philippines, Institute of Corporate Directors, Management Association of the Philippines, People Management Association of the Philippines, Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Public Relations Society of the Philippines.
Lopez Holdings Corporation and Lopez Group Foundation Inc. have signed the Integrity Pledge, committing to ethical business practices and good corporate governance.
